Search is changing

Your customers are asking AI, not just Google

More searches now start with AI. When someone asks ChatGPT or sees a Google AI Overview, you either get named — or your competitor does. AEO and GEO make sure it’s you.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets you cited as the answer in AI Overviews and snippets; GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets you surfaced inside generative answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. We build both — with the content, schema and entity data AI needs to trust you.

AEO vs SEO

“Isn’t this just SEO?” — not quite

They work best side by side, but they aim at different things. Treating them as the same is what limits results.

Why choose us

Why businesses trust us with AI search

Everything you need to feel confident before you book. No jargon, no lock-in, no risk.

Early to AI search

We were building for AI answers before most UK agencies had a page about it — not bolting it on after the fact.

Local specialists

AI search for local businesses is its own discipline. It’s what we do all day — not a sideline.

We measure what others can’t

AI visibility rarely shows as a click. We track prompts, citations and mentions so you can actually see it working.

AEO, GEO and SEO together

One strategy across the map pack, classic results and AI answers — they reinforce each other.

No lock-in contracts

We keep clients through results, not paperwork. Every plan is month-to-month.

Reporting in plain English

Where AI named you, for which prompts, and what changed. No jargon, no smoke and mirrors.
